When you don't know if the lady in your enclosure is about to feed you or catch and weigh you 🤔🦉 Fun fact about this patient! Tawny Frogmouths in captivity will not self-feed, so every Tawny coming into care has to be hand-fed 2 mice a day until they are fit for release or they will not eat at all 🐁

'“We have how many more?” I asked the researcher, while leaning over and panting to catch my breath. “Well, there are ten cinder blocks total, and I see eight here, so two more. Then all the other equipment from the canoe as well,” she replied, matter-of-factly.
I nodded and turned to look down the beach toward the resting green canoe. While I was in decent physical shape, paddling across the bay with a canoe full of cinder blocks, followed by carrying those cinder blocks across this long stretch of sand, was no easy feat on this warm summer day . . ."

Ava and I have been talking a lot the last few days about plastic toys, as there’s some new mini-dolls out that she loves and wants to buy. We’re trying to encourage her to think about materials and the huge bins of discarded plastic toys we see at the local “Trash Palace” - a one last opportunity for items to be bought and used before landfill. It’s tough as a kid when things that you see in stores and enjoy playing with just aren’t made with care for the environment or overseas factory workers. I’d love to hear how other parents have these conversations. I don’t want to be a kill joy but I know after a year the latest toy will be old news. We’re looking at what cool experience she could invest in instead 🤔 What environmental footprint are we each leaving? This was my most interesting find from our marina rubbish pick up. Anyone with a Barbie doll missing a shoe?!

Yesss !!!! (Swipe 👉🏼 article ) 2018 is the International Year of the Reef in collaboration with United Nations Environment @unenvironment and International Coral Reef initiative, where the world will focus on activities on the crisis of our coral reefs. I am already signed up for an incredible dive coral reef and beach cleanup program in Malaysia with environmentalists and scientists, and I can’t wait . 😍😍😍👌🏽🐠 Thank you again to HRH Prince of Wales Prince Charles global call to action. Coral reefs are the heart of our oceans, when they die there will be no more fish no more marine life. And the crisis is now ! So check out IYOR and other NGOs such as @reefcheckmalaysia for how you can get involved . I’ll share activities as and when I read about it. 💪🏼👌🏽🇲🇾🌊🌏♻️🚯

Change starts with you. Be the change you wish to see in the world 🌏
One person can do so much. You can make a positive change then inspire others to do the same & then they will inspire someone.... It’s a chain reaction.

Want to know the single biggest way you can make a difference today? It’s easy. Go vegan. How it helps👇🏻
・
Save the lives of countless animals and stop contributing to their suffering & death
・
Help save the environment. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution, and habitat destruction.
・
Livestock and their byproducts account for 51% of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions.
・
Animal agriculture is responsible for up to 91% of Amazon destruction. Don’t just #boycottpalmoil 🐒🍃 go vegan.
・
We can grow 15x more protein on any given area of land with plants, rather than animals.
・
Land required to feed 1 person for 1 year:
Vegan: 1/6th acre
Vegetarian: 3x as much as a vegan
Meat Eater: 18x as much as a vegan
・
1.5 acres can produce 37,000 pounds of plant-based food.
1.5 acres can produce 375 pounds of meat.
・
7 billion people on earth. We are currently growing enough food to feed 10 billion people. Women, men & children are literally starving to death. 82% of starving children live in countries where food is fed to animals, and the animals are eaten by western countries.

There are so many more reasons to go vegan. Check out my why/how to go vegan page: elourawild.com.au・

Who inspired you to go vegan? I worked on a dairy farm & the cows inspired me to make the change 🌱

There are so many problems in the world that you can’t be expected to be well versed in all of them. This is why there are experts in every field to dedicate their lives to helping people who aren’t experts understand what they can do to help. 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Although you don’t have to be an expert, it can be helpful to do a little bit of your own research. When it comes to such a large concept like environmentalism it can be difficult and overwhelming to know where to start. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thankfully, there are a ton of calculators that, while they are far from perfect, give you a glimpse into some of the parts of your life that you can make more environmentally friendly. You might be surprised! 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
A link to one of these calculators it in my bio! Let me know how you do! ♻️

#STAYCOZY in our suuuper soft Unisex Stay Cool Sweatshirts!!❣️🌬✨ did you know that eating vegan is the BEST way we can reduce our environmental footprints?! get VEGucated & watch @cowspiracy to learn more! 🌱🌏 👣

Greed is an ugly thing, what happened to having enough? Practicing appreciation for what I have in a world that pushes “the next best thing” is a challenge. The amount of material items you purchase does make a difference. Think of the phone in your hands. What resources were required to make it? Where is it going to go when you get a new one? How long will it sit in a landfill, 400 years? To reduce your carbon footprint, only purchase the things you need. Better for your bank account and our world.✌🏼🌎🌤

Stress and anxiety are normal, it’s just how you manage them that make the difference. Taking photos is a good way to manage your stress, it keeps you present to your environment, you’re staying aware of what is around you instead of letting your head run away with itself. Take more photos! #35mm

What is the biggest, most annoying or frustrating obstacle you face in trying to live more sustainably?
Is it always forgetting your reusable bag and ending up with a plastic mess? Do you struggle with figuring out which dress or vacation or dinner choice makes the least impact? Do you find it hard to compost in your apartment or shop zero waste in your rural town? I want to hear from you!!
